  • If you think someone looks pretty or extra nice today, tell them. Some times, some people need a little bit of confidence boost or some cheering up to continue going on with their days!
  • There is no harm in saying no if you believe that the situation is becoming too uncomfortable. You are not obliged to say yes! And you have the right to only do things that you believe is safe for your mental health and well being.
  • Stop interchanging sorry and thank you. Instead of apologizing to someone for being late, say thank you for their patience to wait for you! There is a thin line between being grateful and feeling sorry and once you've learned how it works, you will become a better communicator and a better person in general
  • Always make an effort to be kinder in everything that you do! Kindness is a choice and living your life in a much kinder way will make you feel more content. Of course being kind does not necessarily only mean being kind to other people, it also means being kind to yourself.
  • Instead of focusing on the whole picture itself, try to appreciate the tiny beautiful details about your everyday life. See how the sky changes its colors every now and then? Appreciate it. Observe how your streets are copper-colored because of fallen leaves. Inhale the blossoms of your spring garden.

*Please note that this was NOT thought up by me. I saw this someone where else and I thought it was so true and needed to be shared with others. I do not know who thought this up, but I do know its something that needs to be shared with others. I think if we all work on this for our new year resolution (at least one of them) we can really make a change to 2018*

I definitely need to work on my usage of sorry/thanks. I apologize quite often, even on things that I really don't need to be sorry for, but as you said, they're instead things I should thank someone for such as waiting for me if I got stuck in traffic on the way to a rehearsal or something.

Whoever wrote the original post was right about the little things, too - sometimes we get so caught up in the details of our day, school, and work without taking a moment to stop and smell the flowers if you will. I sometimes think of a tip I see in the slideshow at my chiropractor's office - it says that, when eating, we should pay attention to the taste, smell, and texture of our foods to help us slow down and enjoy our meal (which has something to do with affecting our general health). Even little things like that can make a big difference in our day.

I think we should definitely make a habit of complimenting people, even if they're of the opposite gender. There's nothing wrong with telling a girl that her scarf looks nice, or telling a boy that you like the band featured on his shirt.

Thanks for spreading this message, Merp! It's a good thing for us to hear. <3
